Students are encouraged to pay for meals a week in advance; you may pay further in advance if you wish.  Money should be put into an envelope with the child’s name in upper right-hand corner, followed by the teacher’s name, room number, and PIN.  Checks should be made out to St. Paul Public Schools and should include the child’s name and PIN.

Each student is given a 4 or 5 digit PIN number for meal purchases.  Students are informed when they are nearly out of credit.  Parents can get information regarding a child’s account balance by calling the school and requesting assistance from the Rondo Center Food Service Supervisor.  Account balances from last school year will be carried over to begin the new school year.

If there is a need for free or reduced-price meals, please contact the school office or Food Service Supervisor.  The application forms must be filled in completely to ensure speedy processing.  All families are being asked to complete the form this year; Schools are given appropriate credit for students on free / reduced.

If a child’s account balance reaches zero, students in grades 1-5 are allowed to charge up to 5 meals.  If they reach the charge limit they are then provided with a cheese sandwich and milk.  Students in grades 6-8 who reach a zero balance may be provided a cheese sandwich and milk.

Breakfast is served from 7:40 – 8:00 a.m.  If buses are late, students will be served upon arrival.

Lunch is served between 10:30 – 1:00 p.m.  A schedule is available listing the time each class will be eating lunch.

Ala Carte items are available for students in grade 8.  They are sold after the lunch service is complete and consist of fruit drinks, chips, and snack items.

Lactose free milk is available upon request. Please contact Roxanne Ennis, ext.2671, for further information.
